    This compilation is an initiative of the Brazilian magazine Metal Mission. The CD contains thirteen entries from different kinds of metal bands. Even though I recognize some of the names presented here, I realize that most people outside of Brazil probably never heard of them. Therefore, this disc may be a good opportunity to get to know these Brazilian formations. But it's also important to realize that this is only a handful of the huge amount of bands that Brazil accommodates. Here's the list of bands on this compilation: Trino, The Joke, Dynasty, Resistance, Arcanjo, Empty Grave, Clemency, Skymetal, Moshab, Sacramento, Halleluyah, War Blade and Edson Boleti. Depending on your taste there are interesting tracks to find. The overall quality, sound wise, isn't as good as one might hope for but the lack of superiority in the sonic field is made up for with good songs. There are a few minor songs on the disc but most are interesting or even really cool. It's too much to mention what bands are to keep an eye on. If these bands get the chance to release something of satisfying quality most of them are great additions to the scene. Good initiative.
